Randall Pepper Elementary

Randall Pepper Elementary sits in the heart of Fontana, a working-class Inland Empire city where families are deeply rooted in community and resilience. The school faces some real academic challenges, scoring in the lower range statewide, so families who prioritize academics may want to explore additional support or enrichment outside the classroom. That said, Fontana itself has a lot going for it — affordable housing, easy freeway access to both Los Angeles and the mountains, and a tight-knit Latino community that gives the area a strong sense of place and belonging.
